It was inevitable, was it not? With the success of HP’s 2133 Mini-Note, it was pretty obvious that the outfit would be working up a second edition, and according to Jerel Chong, HP Australia’s Market Development Manager for Notebook PCs, it’s already "looking at a similar device but at a lower cost." Reportedly, the lower cost low-cost laptop will be ready for budget-conscience consumers sometime before 2009, though we have no idea what corners will be cut in order to hack down the price. Mr. Chong did mention that the cheaper edition would be less "durable," but considering that we never viewed the original as a Toughbook replacement, we’re not so sure what he’s really getting at. Nevertheless, those looking seriously at the more business-minded 2133 may want to hold off, but good luck suppressing that insatiable desire to be instantly gratified.

If you just can’t get enough of what Sony Europe execs are saying, here’s another mouthful just days after hearing from David Reeves . This time we’ve got SCEE’s VP of publisher and developer relations Zeno Colaço shouting out on the state of PSP, and overall, his comments weren’t that surprising. Most notably, he mentioned that the developer community needed to be "revitalized" so that it would get behind the PSP in a big...

The fact that the iPhone doesn’t securely erase user data when you select "Erase All Content and Settings" has prompted a lot of hand-wringing (and given rise to a lot of complicated manual workarounds ) as people get ready to flip their old phones and upgrade to the iPhone 3G, but it looks like there’s a simpler solution coming: AppleInsider says the iPhone 2.0 software now securely erases user data. The process is apparently similar to...
more Dell gets “official” with colorful Studio 15 and Studio 17 laptop linesFrom: gadget.fotoamulet.com

Not like Dell’s done an exceptional job keeping this one a secret , but yes, the Studio 15 and Studio 17 laptops do seem to be more than a figment of someone’s imagination -- at least, according to a believable release posted up at BetaNews, which has since been pulled. Predictably, the former line features a 15-inch panel while the latter steps up to 17-inches, and both crews will be offered in a smattering of hues including black, grey, blue, green...
more Knight Rider GPS Unit Is KITTastic, FunctionalFrom: gadget.fotoamulet.com
Post Date: 2008-06-25 14:00:59
The Mio Knight Rider GPS unit is exactly what it sounds like -- a Knight Rider themed GPS unit. It has red blinking lights. Basically what you’re paying for is the fact that Mio got William Daniels (the distinguished voice of KITT) to do all the audio work. You choose your name from a long list, and then the unit will address you as so, making you feel a little more Knight Rider-y and a little less Minivan Rider-y. The MSRP is around $270 and they hit streets in the fall. N...
